Respected All,
I have to read xml files from server and display data from all files. some data contains character '�' which gives me SAXException while parsing. I have tried to convert UTF-8 format. but it gives me out of application as soon as that char is found in file. I have used SAXParser to parse xml file.
If you have any solution to this problem please help me.
Thank You
Hi vikram, you seem to have an exception due to an issue of encoding. If the character looks like ? in your xml, this means that the error is not in your application but in the XML, check that you are encoding the characters properly in your XML. If you are creating the XML with a PHP page for instance, you can use htmlentities() function to encode these. Can you put an extract of your xml or a link to it, to see where the issue is?
I believe that by default theSAXParser will detect the encoding used. If it doesn't work you can always manually specify the encoding using the overloaded parse method.
If you do not know the encoding, you can wrap your parsing code in a try/catch block, and after getting a SAXException you could try re-parsing and specifying one. This last step could be done for a few encodings you would always want to try.
If that fails, or if the XML contains mix-matched encodings, you'll be out of luck.
